5K Walk/Run

The 5K Walk/Run for Health kicks off the morning of the first day of the 2-Day Music Fest and is held in honor of Mrs. Felecia Ann Wintons. She was one of the founding members of the Festival and lost her battle with Breast Cancer in 2009.

The purpose of the walk is to emphasize healthy living while educating the community about health disparities among African-Americans. Throughout the years the walk has been a positive and motivating addition to the festival and the community. Individuals, families, friends, companies, and pets can join hundreds of others as we honor survivors and pay respects to those who have succumbed to diseases that affect the black and brown communities.

A warm-up exercise performance will happen prior to the walk/run.

Pre-Registration Required.

Fee: $15
